I have got a large number of chemical structures to draw, I have them as soft copy in Canonical SMILES form, and in hard copy in a 2D format chemical structure & i need to draw them to be in a 2D format on a wword document(soft copy), is there a way to do it, instead of drawing them one by one by Chemdraw?
Thanks a lot
In chem sketch software you can convert smiles to chemical structure
In Schrodinger Maestro, you can copy the 2D diagrams all at once into sketcher and can be converted to 2D or 3D in SDF or mol formats.
You can use online ChEMBL Ligand search method (home page), where you can paste your SMILE in the SMILES search (present in list search) or you can import your file directly and can download it in other format (like mol2 or as marvin document file).
I'd like to emphasize Martin Klvana's excellent suggestion. With some variation on this command line (svg might be preferable, as it's re-sizeable), the results are typically of professional quality, and uses only open source:
obabel mymolecule.smi --gen2D -d -opng -O mymolecule.png

You can convert all the smiles in one txt file to sdf file online in this link.
